... RealClearPolitics spoke with a source close to the Palin family, who wanted to provide their version of the events in question...

IMO, you have as much right to post on this thread as anyone else does.

Being fromthe Adirondacks, I too think it’s funny how clueless a lot of people are to good ol’ redneck party behavior ;)

It’s because the pussification of America has even extended to the political right. Personally I’d like to see all these ‘better than that’ types looking down their noses crack some books on many of the lives of their supposed heros/American icons. They would see lots of that ‘boorish behavior’.

But I guess they are ‘better’ than physically defending ones family.

Welcome to modern America folks. I can’t understand why the right refuses do defend itself. Nope...not at all.

They are shocked that potential presidential caindate in bar fight COME On
I think safe to say maybe our previous US president got into fights Teddy Roosvelt Reagan Bush 41 and 43 even Bill Clinton may have

There’s been so much BS thrown at the Palins both from the (openly hostile) Left and the (supposedly friendly) Right that I’m automatically inclined to make any allowances I’m going to make in favor of them. Never hid that, never will.

Having said that, if you’re in the media, and you’ve got a real-news environment as target-rich as the nation and the world are right now, and you spent time covering this, that’s a deliberate choice on your part, and not one that speaks well of your judgment.

[Fractal Trader]

Hmm... The Daily News, which is usually quite correct when it comes to celebrity news, pulled an article which had wide accusations of impropriety on Palin’s camp. Now they’ve pulled any reference to Palin on their home page.

Hoax?

[trisham]

So true!

[Norm Lenhart]

The pussification of the American male. It’s real. I guess people like Wyatt Earp, Patton, most men in the military during WW2 when there was a non stop string of bar fights for FUN...yea...all these people were all just boors.

Mothers don’t suddenly lose the fight in them just because their kid id a war vet when he’s attacked in front of her. What this is is a bunch of people posting BS and trying to look above it all. Pretty much like any liberal. Some post thread after thread on it to keep it front and center, some dogpile. But at the core, you have cheshire conservatives who strongly believe high school never ends and prove it with their behavior.

[McGruff]

Little booze with family and friends yup typical Saturday night.. in most of America.

My Dad would stand on a chair and say “I’ll take the biggest guy”

[Norm Lenhart]

Who knows? I would tend to think ‘something’ happened but with two Romney operatives pushing the story and FR’s PDS wing driving it here, reality is certainly different from what has been reported.

"Melee in Chile seen as ‘big deal’"

Law-enforcement authorities said the Chileans, who claimed to be in charge of security for the event, stopped Secret Service agent Nick Trotta as he was escorting Mr. Bush and first lady Laura Bush into the center, jumping in front of the agent as he approached the building entry. The authorities said the Chilean officers had seemed poised to act.

At least one Secret Service agent was shoved against a wall, the authorities said, as Mr. Trotta continued to push his way into the center. It was then that Mr. Bush responded, pushing into the crowd of angry security officials, pointing at Mr. Trotta and ordering that he be released. Mr. Bush finally reached over and grabbed the agent by the suit collar.

“He’s with me,” Mr. Bush said as he waded into the scuffle and pulled the agent through the crowd.

The authorities said the Chilean agents were shocked when they determined that the man pushing over them was Mr. Bush, who, they said, grabbed Mr. Trotta, adjusted his shirt cuffs and then winked at bystanders with the agent at his side.

La Cuarta, a Santiago newspaper, described Mr. Bush’s actions as a “total breach of protocol” and referred to him as “John Wayne … definitely acting like a cowboy.”

All of them were real mean with the obvious exception of KKKlitoon who was always effeminate. A probable homosexual, characterized by his speaking pattern of a woman's high voice, it's been long speculated by some of the wisest FReepers that daughter Chelsea is not his child.

[Norm Lenhart]

Well there was Carter as well and his fear of bunnies. But yea, for the most part, Past presidents were not pussified. Actually it’s sort of fitting that Obama is President, being that so many men today forgot where their ‘guts’ are.

[re_nortex]

Past presidents were not pussified.

The far-left Woodrow Wilson was also light in the loafers with the traits of a Nancy Boy.

[namvolunteer]

VL - I don’t understand why you are damaging your reputation. Your posts haven’t been funny, incisive or collegial. You’re better than that.

[Norm Lenhart]

Another Democrat. Gee...what are the odds? FR’s withering violets sure have good company.

[re_nortex]

And here's one more DemonRAT to consider.

Yes, that's Franklin Diablo Roosevelt pictured above. I was born while this evil, marxist goon was still the president. Being married to hag like Eleanor certainly didn't enhance FDR's "manhood".

The is my last comment on this:

The party was going on without incident.

The Palin family shows up.

The Palin son sees the former boyfriend of his sister. He goes to talk to the guy.

A fight breaks out.

Now, who do you think instigated the fight?

Of course not Palin. They would NEVER pick a fight.

And when the Palin kid is getting the crap kicked out of him, for a fight he clearly started, his mom starts screaming about him being a vet. Obviously she thinks that will help some how.

And this all makes sense to you guys?

AND this is HER side of the story.

I know there is Palin Derangement. I know many of you accuse me of it. I just wonder what it would take for any of you to believe that her family might have some issues?

That’s it. I am done here—no more Palin posts.

That is the way boys dressed back then. No big deal. Usually wore dressed until 3 or four. No long pants til ten.
